Chris Brennan - King of the Kimura

Chris "the Westside Strangler" Brennan is widely regarded as one of the first American Jiu-jitsu practitioners who really embraced NoGi grappling. Although he started training in the gi at the Gracie Academy, early on in his training he focused completely on NoGi and MMA. Chris is not only a professional grappling instructor but he is also an avid competitor with matches in the UFC, Pride, KOTC, BJJ Worlds, and ADCC.

In this video Chris teaches his signature KIMURA submission. This is Chris' favorite sub and after watching this it will be yours too! The Westside Strangler shows you how to get the kimura from just about all positions including the mount, side control, guard, half guard and more. Not only does Chris show you how to get the submission, but he also shows you how to both defend and counter the move.
